The Delhi Commission For Women (DCW) had on Friday issued notices to the Delhi Police and the DMRC after the woman had alleged that she was harassed in the metro train.
She had also filed a case against the man for his obscene behavior in Delhi metro, DMRC authorities said on Saturday.
Earlier this week, the shocking case came to light when a woman revealed her ordeal on social media and alleged that a man standing and facing her had flashed genitals. This shameful incident took place when the woman was returning to Gurugram in a metro train on the Yellow Line.
